To transport a starship component you must be at a starbase. To load a component you use a special friendly code. (see above). The Gxx Fcodes will get a component from the Starbase and place it on the ship. Each component will require a certain amount of space. This space (in KT) is determined in the SPCONFIG settings. You can load a MDSF up to its 200 KT maximum weight limit. You can not load more than one type of component at a time. You can only get components at your own starbase(s).

The program checks for available space on the ship before it loads a component. If there is not enough space the component will not be loaded. If you later try to load cargo on the ship and this act would exceed the freighters weight capacity (including the component) the program will trim off the excess cargo that was loaded.

To unload components you use the Uxx Fcodes (see above). You can unload at any starbase(s). Note: If a ship is captured in battle your enemy with also get the components that were on that transport. Also, if the Tag Special Transportation is enabled all med. freighters carrying components will have "ST :" added to the front of their ship name.

Understanding is a three-edged sword.Your side, their side,and the truth.
